Summer Social is a purposeful networking event designed to connect and celebrate the restaurant, hospitality, and tourism professionals who make this region the special destination it is. We're kicking it off with our member host, Clubhouse No. 3, in Sandusky.
From Toledo to Cleveland and everywhere in between, restaurant owners, their teams, industry professionals, and hospitality partners across northern Ohio, this one's for you. If you're in this business community, we want you in the room. This isn't a conference. It's a curated room packed with the right people who know what it takes to build, run, and/or contribute to a growing hospitality industry.
You'll hear directly from local organizations like the Greater Sandusky Partnership (GSP) and Shores & Islands about timely regional developments. Connect with industry peers, leaders, and partners about available opportunities, resources, and networks that will bring your visions to reality.
Oh, did we mention it's free?
